Northern has announced that there will be a new peak time evening fare period Mondays to Fridays as from 8th September from 16.00 to 18.29. Off peak return tickets will NOT be valid in this time period. Evening ranger tickets and evening fare tickets will also be withdrawn from this date. This change is part of the new interim franchise deal struck with the DfT and is designed to bring in more fare box revenue. For some travellers however, the price increase will be significant. Current peak period fare Glossop to Manchester is £7.70 and off peak £4.20. To return between 16.00 and 18.29 a peak single or a return will be required. Other lines and areas within Northern will also have the same evening restrictions. Do check and plan your journey times carefully! No change to weekend fares/times.
